Thanks for sharing this. I wasn't familiar with it.
For folks using screenreaders: Conservative Howard Smith added "because of sex" to the Title VII Civil Rights Act not as a "poison pill" but because wealthy white women suddenly realized that black men and black women would be protected under the Act, "leaving one group with no protection at all: white women".

Here's another take on it.

How Feminists Talked a Racist Congressman Into Writing “Because of Sex”—and LGBTQ Equality—Into Law

The phrase in the Civil Rights Act responsible for so much progress for women and LGBTQ people was hardly a historical fluke.

I recommend using the browser version of Mastodon and pinning it to your mobile desktop. On the app you only see a sample of posts when visiting an individual profile whereas the browser gives you the option to click through to their instance and view the full content.

Remember: if you want to widen the audience of a publication, don't favourite it. Retoot it. Nothing wrong with faves. It's a valid form of engagement but only a retoot will make it visible in your server. Tks.
